Only need one copy to play with someone else using the friends pass.
Why would that matter even one iota?

My only gripe with this game is that there is zero difficulty. It's very forgiving. Even if you die you respawn pretty close to what you were doing. The boss fights in It Takes Two were sometimes a challenge. So far I'm breezing through this. There is even an option to skip to the next checkpoint if you get stuck. It really wants you to just keep moving.

The story is kind of meh. It Takes Two was kind of emotional, the set pieces made sense. This one is more like… "hey why are we here. Oh you wrote this story? Okay."


My kid loves it though, and it's hard to find couch coop like this.

Same since I haven't even played a way out yet and my personal backlog is at least a year out

But by then your backlog will be even longer. Vicious cycle.

Well no matter what my Game Pass backlog ends a year from now. I am so freaking far behind on Game Pass games I have really bad decision paralysis. I was so excited to play Indiana Jones and I've had it for 4 months now but I am feeling overwhelmed by a long story and I have like 5 other game pass game I've started and haven't finished.

But again, my sub ends March 30th 2025 just in time for this game to hit a year old, so hopefully as long as they stick with going to EA pass after a year this will be my swan song of my 3 year sub... then back to my list.

The option to get the code was right there on the order confirmation page after my order went through. Could try to go back to Newegg and look there.

Released March 6th 2025. (Today)

Developer of
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
It Takes Two
A Way Out

If my backlog wasn't so extensive I'd grab this as it is not on EA Play or GamePass.

It should be more difficult that It Takes Two so be aware of you're introducing a partner to this and they struggled prior.
"it is not on EA Play or GamePass"......yet.

Everything that EA releases ends up on EA Play within usually a year. And since EA Play comes with GamePass = Win for GamePass subscribers Smilie

Having said that, even though I could easily just wait until then with my backlog, I will still buy a copy of this game to support HAZELIGHT. GamePass easily saves me more than the measly cost of their game over a year, hell in a single month on average with Day One releases.

The fact they only charge $49.99 for their games (which they far surpass many many many $69.99+ titles) & your friend can play with you for free.... should really open the eyes of the corporate suits in the game industry. That is how you earn consumer loyalty and love of your games.

GamePass Ultimate codes are easily available for ~$7-9/month.....alas stacking for 36 months is gone but you can still get monthly price for much lower than the standard pricing.

Newegg [newegg.com] has Split Fiction (Xbox Series X|S Digital Download) for $49.99 - $10 w/ promo code XDSFSAVE at checkout = $39.99. Game codes will be delivered via email.

About Split Fiction:
  • Split Fiction is a unique action-adventure experience that keeps you on the edge of your couch with unexpected moments. One minute you're taming adorable dragons and the next you're fighting as cyber ninjas, escaping terrifying trolls, or dodging hover cars thrown by a robotic parking attendant. It's weird, it's wild, and it's designed to be shared.
  • Grab your co-op partner and get ready to overcome any obstacle thrown your way.
  • TRUE CO-OP ADVENTURE – This split-screen adventure is tailored for two. Experience co-op gameplay where you'll have to coordinate your actions and timing as well as work together to overcome challenges. Invite a partner to join you for free, for cross-platform play, with the Friend's Pass*. This wild ride comes to you from Hazelight, the co-op thrill-makers that brought you It Takes Two and A Way Out.
  • UNPARALLELED VARIETY – Discover new mechanics and abilities in every level of your adventure, which will alternate between sci-fi and fantasy settings. Escape a sun that's going supernova, challenge a monkey to a dance battle, try out some cool hoverboard tricks, fight an evil kitty, and ride everything from gravity bikes to a sandshark. Experience worlds that are entirely different from each other, unexpected new abilities, and a range of gameplay that includes platforming, stealth, puzzles, and more.
When I goto checkout and apply promo code it says :
'The code has not been activated yet. Please double check the activation date.'

They have a $8 off code (SAVE8DSF) on the website so is this original one (XDSFSAVE) dead???

FYI....this game does qualify for the EA PLAY 10% discount to $ 44.99 via Microsoft/Xbox Store so if you wish to use rewards points there.
